From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 224 - 167: Buying Gold Bars (Part 2)

She definitely had to seize this opportunity,

without a second thought, Jiang Xin walked straight into the jewelry store.

Inside, the person attending to her happened to be the same clerk who served Jiang Wan and her companion that day.

When Jiang Xin came in, the clerk, out of professional habit, gave Jiang Xin a head-to-toe scan.

Actually, there was no malicious intent; she just wanted to get a sense of Jiang Xin’s spending power based on her attire.

Then, based on that, she could precisely recommend things that Jiang Xin could afford.

The clerk noticed that the clothes Jiang Xin wore were of good quality and texture, clearly indicating she wasn’t lacking money.

So immediately, she plastered on a very professional smile.

How to put it, looking at that smile made Jiang Xin feel entirely uncomfortable, almost giving her goosebumps, the smile just came off as so fake.

Professional smiles—Jiang Xin just didn’t quite understand them.

Such overly standardized smiles creep people out.

Anyway, it was uncomfortable, but she was here to shop after all.

The shop employee was smiling as she served, so Jiang Xin naturally wouldn’t criticize.

Furthermore, even though this clerk had given her a thorough once-over from head to toe.

Jiang Xin wasn’t foolish; she could tell from the smile that the clerk had no ill intentions towards her.

It must just be an occupational habit, trying to judge if someone has purchasing power.

"Welcome, ma’am. What would you like to buy? I can introduce something to you."

After hearing the clerk’s enthusiastic greeting, Jiang Xin smiled and said,

"I want to look at your store’s gold jewelry, or gold bars; I’d like to buy some as an investment."

These days, the term "investment" is quite obscure since many people haven’t even heard of it.

Moreover, the current gold prices aren’t particularly high, and regular people just buy it for aesthetics. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Plus, buying a gold necklace can also be a way to show off a bit.

People like Jiang Xin, who walk into a gold store saying they want to buy gold bars for investment, are indeed rare.

But since the clerk worked at a gold store, she had seen all kinds of people.

So, even though investment isn’t a completely foreign concept, it’s not heard often.

Thus, upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, the clerk wasn’t overly surprised but rather very enthusiastically said to Jiang Xin,

"Sure, I can show you some gold jewelry and then look at the gold bars. How many grams were you thinking of?"

"We regularly get customers saying they want to invest in gold bars, but such customers are indeed rare. I don’t know how many grams you want to invest in. Give me a rough estimate so I can help select."

Actually, Jiang Xin came into the store on a whim; before coming to the Department Store, she hadn’t thought about buying gold bars.

So regarding how many grams to buy, Jiang Xin had no exact figure in her mind.

It probably depended on how much money she actually had in her pocket.

Thinking about the sensitive issue of money.

Jiang Xin suddenly felt a bit awkward; truthfully, she didn’t have much money on her right now.

Especially recently, spending like water, and just this morning she rented a warehouse, so Jiang Xin only had a bit over four hundred yuan left.

Trying to buy gold bars with four hundred yuan would be a joke; buying small jewelry might be doable.

She originally had just over a hundred yuan, plus the two hundred yuan business revenue Lin Ye handed her at lunchtime, barely making four hundred yuan.

But since she was already here, if she didn’t buy anything, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Money spent can always be earned back; Jiang Xin thought, since she was already here, she might as well look at both the gold bars and jewelry, and if she liked something, she’d buy a little bit.
